These muffins are the perfect treat, weather it be on a brunch table, as a mid morning snack or after school to hold the kids over until dinner. These muffins are super moist and tender and the hint of honey gives them just the right amount of sweetness.
I have been making blueberry muffins for a long time. I have to say, it is one of my favorite muffins. The plump blueberries make them moist and tender every time. This time I wanted to try something a little different. So I was thinking why not use honey instead of the cane sugar. I use honey in many of my recipes and love the way it not only brings just the right amount of sweetness but it also brings some moisture to the recipe. Then I added a crumble top because, why not, and their you go, Honey Blueberry Muffins With Crumble Top.
The best part is they are super easy to make. So give them a try. They might become your new favorite.
How To Make Honey Blueberry Muffins With Crumble Top
Start by preheating your oven to 350º. Line a muffin tray with paper liners only utilizing every other one so that your muffins have room to grow, then set to the side.
In a large bowl whisk together your all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg and set to the side.
In a separate medium bowl whisk together the melted butter, honey, buttermilk, plain greek yogurt, eggs and pure vanilla extract.
Slowly pour wet ingredients into the flour mixture and mix until just combined, set to the side.
In a separate small bowl place rinsed and drained blueberries, the blueberry preserves and the lemon zest and stir to combine.
Pour the blueberry mixture into the batter and gently fold in to combine, being careful not to over mix.
Scoop out batter using a large ice cream scoop and place in prepared muffin trays. Fill each muffin cup to 3/4 full and set to the side.
